Folks, we're just a group of people trying to make the board run smoothly.
So think what you would do in our shoes if ANY member continually pushed the boundries.
What we do is we tell each other and start to watch that member to see if they are really a trouble maker, and if we have to spend a lot of time watching them, we start to ask, "Is this guy/girl really worth all the time we are spending on them?"
(Remember, we are volunteers and aren't paid for the time it takes to moderate posts).
So I really don't recommend this line of reasoning, because the truth is, we HAVE banned people when it just got to be too much to deal with them.
The "sweet-spot" you hit might get you knocked out right out of the forum.

I save some of the PMs I receive for deleted threads. I did a deleted thread yesterday, then I last did one back in November, then a couple in Wayside some time before that. I don't post anything I know for sure will get the axe , and rarely post things that have a 50-50 chance of living. I've been a member since v.3 and I've done maybe 6 deleted threads since joining. A couple were porn that could be led to warez (bittorrent and emule links) so discussion topics are even less. Most of the time I post things to see what ppl in this climate have to say about it.
I post at a few other forums where much worse is allowed and even encouraged, but many members there dont' have the scope and insight many members here have. I don't see anything wrong with pushing boundaries occasionally as I have. I don't do it very often at all unless I really want to see what posters will say agbout the topic. I dont' just post "OMFG LooK At THIS!!@!@@#$" and post up something like tubgirl. It's always something that can be discussed. Discussing certain things that may offend or disturb others can be a good thing IMO.
